Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a round bottom flask containing a solution of 4-cyano-5-ethyl-1-methyl-3-[4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.150 g, 0.428 mmol, prepared in example E-242) in DMF (2 mL) cooled to 0° C. while stirring add NaH (0.019 g, 0.479 mmol, 60% in mineral oil). Let stir for 1 h, then add 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (0.052 mL, 0.479 mmol) and let stir overnight. Dilute the mixture with brine (20 mL) and extract the mixture with EtOAc (3×15 mL). Combine the organic layers and wash with brine (2×20 mL), aqueous NH4Cl (1×20 mL), aqueous NaHCO3 (1×20 mL) and water (1×20 mL). Dry the organic layer over anhydrous Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate under reduced pressure. Purify the residue via silica gel chromatography (eluent: 20 to 98% EtOAc in hexanes). Concentrate under reduced pressure the purified fractions and azeotroped with methylene chloride/hexanes. Place the residue under vacuum to provide the title compound as a colorless tar (0.011 g); mass spectrum (m/e): 407.3 (M+H)
